Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has asserted that efforts by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and President Bola Tinubu to undermine Nigeria’s democracy will not succeed.
Atiku’s comments follow a protest led by leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja against the alleged partisanship of INEC and what they described as the “tyranny” of President Tinubu’s administration.
“I believe they received the message that this effort to undermine our democracy will not succeed. It will be resisted and challenged to the best of our abilities,” he said, while urging the international community to pay attention to the threats facing Nigeria, its democracy, and the opposition.
He expressed confidence that Nigeria would be reclaimed and would rise through the collective and united efforts of its citizens.
Similarly, Rabiu Kwankwaso condemned what he described as the blatant partisanship and compromised neutrality of the electoral body.
Kwankwaso noted that the peaceful procession in Abuja brought together various opposition groups in a clear message that they would not stand idle while the electoral umpire undermines the will of the people.
He also assured that the ADC would continue to closely monitor INEC’s activities and demand that it immediately return to the path of impartiality, transparency, and professionalism so that democracy can thrive in Nigeria.
